dc.description.abstractPiezoelectricity is the ability of some solid materials to convert a mechanical deformation into an electric charge and vise versa. In recent years, piezoelectric ceramics have gained great importance in high precision actuating and sensing applications. As a part of the IRIS (MSA-6) project, this research is aimed at building an understanding of these materials as well as their processing and characterization techniques. In order to achieve this objective, a combined theoretical and experimental study was conducted by doing the following: the design and construction of experimental facilities for processing and characterizing piezo­ceramics, the documentation of a detailed theoretical background on piezoelectric materi­als and the selection of the most suitable ceramic for the planned purpose. This was followed by the processing and characterization of ten batches of piezoceramics. This application-oriented research has established the required background and expertise that will make it possible to repeatedly process the piezoceramic PZT in our laboratory.
